By The Fireside~
Here my soul drifting
Up all night waiting
Then you came
Behind the sheer curtain
Saw your shadow passed by.
I sat and watched
As you walked by
Your scent lingers
In the dark I sniffed
Quivering and heart throbbing.
My eyes grew dim
As you kissed my cheek
I breathed rushing
Without knowing
How much my heart can bear.
In perfect light my soul will arise...soon, soon!

Here’s hoping to bring readers comfort while missing their pets and feeling as though they are still around. And, in honor of our cat Oreo, who left without goodbye but will stay in our hearts with cheerfulness. We hope you are still breathing and... - Poem: Tail of winter
Toronto is Canada's largest city and the capital of Ontario, located northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. Winter in the city, which starts from December and usually ends by early March is cold and often snowy. Daytime temperatures in December...
You whispered
“I love you”
But my lips have failed
To say, “I love you too”
Deaf as a post I was.
I gazed on the dim light
That flickers through
Contented to feel you
And then you fade away
Swiftly like the gusting breeze.
Sweet peace my soul hopes
I'll wait for your return
In this little nook of the house
Where my heart is set at rest
Kindled by the fireside.
Light is good from whatever lamp it shines. ~Unknown

I love your poem, so beautifully expressed. Your photos helped to add to the feeling of your words, as if we were right there too. The fireside is so inviting and cozy. I did not know that was Michael Jackson's last song.

ahorseback: Dear Ed my friend from cyberspace, thank you. I'll tell you a secret...red eye flights are my favorites. Why? Because at night is when I see all the stars in the sky, I feel much closer to the BIG GUY and most importantly, the passengers are all quiet--snoozing. ZZZzzzz!!! Yet, I know, I am not alone. Cheers!
Love from the sky~
